Hello When I had my stream running in Australia (2006-7), before relocating to the US, I used a home-made parabolic microphone setup. Have a look at this URLhttp://userpages.umbc.edu/~nohe/Locus_Sonus/index.htmlfor an image. I mounted a salad dish to a drainpipe outside my studio, and used a clamp and rigid piece of wire to direct a Panasonic electret capsule to the focal point of the dish. The directionality was quite good, and focused to a garden area full of birds and theatre students.
The piece of clear tubing kept the rain out and the capsule was very snug inside.
Best, Tim

Hi,
I finally got my stream up at my new residence in Oakland, using a wireless device to get connectivity. Thanks to Alejo for the ayuda. I have some questions though. Has anyone used the streambox outside? I'd like to get it outside where there is a pretty rich sound environment. Any ideas or suggestions on that? How to encase the box? Or, alternatively, how to extend the mic so that I just put that part outside? I need to worry about both rain and dust. Has anyone tried to make a parabolic mic for the streambox? I'm not too happy with the sound I'm getting and I'm almost certain it could be better. What kind of adjustments have you been making to fine tune the sound quality? Any suggestions would be helpful. best -august.-- http://aug.ment.org GPG: 0A8D 2BC7 243D 57D0 469D 9736 C557 458F 003E 6952
